    Banana Cream Pie
    Jolene H.

    Been here since I was a kid, I've seen the good times and the bad here. I was pleasantly surprised to see things to be much better than it's been the last time I've been around. Waitress was friendly and food was warm and filling.

    Loaded hashbrowns

    I waffled between 3 and 4 stars here. It's your pretty standard Perkins, though it looks a little newer on the inside than some, which is nice. Came with some friends on Father's Day and there was a wait (which I expected, but there were lots of open tables so huh?). Our server was friendly, but she was slow. I was just going to order hashbrowns (I'd already eaten) and she talked me into their loaded hashbrowns (they were pretty good). My friends both got muffins with their meals, and it took forever for them to come out. Drink refills were a little slow too, and overall the food took a long time to come out. She also messed up my friend's order, who wanted an egg white omelette and got a regular omelette instead. She split the bill up for us, which was nice, but then when we got up front to pay the system wasn't letting them split it up. Since we were all friends it was okay, but it was a little odd that she told us we could split and then it couldn't. Overall, it's Perkins, so nothing fancy, and the food was tasty, but I think all the waiting is what brought it down a bit for me.

    a piece of pecan pie

    The three pies I had were all excellent! Lemon merengue, pumpkin cream, and pecan were all mighty tasty. This location has fresh pies that please the whole family.

    Lemon Meringue pie tasted like it was bought frozen from a grocery store, or maybe not that good.

    I really use to enjoy this restaurant but now too many unusual choices. Sometimes simple is better. A little pricey for a basic breakfast.

    Since I was back in the area for few days, I decided to go back to SAP as it's one of the few…read moreplaces in town that is farm to table. My experience this time around was a little bit more of a let down hence why I had to take one star off. When I went few months ago, I had burnt coffee which I chalked it up as a one time error. But it happened again with this visit, so that told me they don't really pay much attention to their coffee yet they have a whole menu dedicated to coffee. I also made a reservation on a Sunday knowing it fills up quick and that it might be hard to get a table, however, it was an hour and half before they close which means they tend to slow down around that time. Also, when making a reservation, it'll ask you if you want bar, dining area or patio. I chose dining area. Yet they called me an half hour before to see if I wanted to sit at the bar, which I told them twice in person I do not want to, and as a result the hostess gave me the annoyed/judgmental look down when I wasn't looking. As someone who has owned a family restaurant business for 30 years, that's a big no-no in terms of customer service. It's just rude and unnecessary. Also, they kind of really try to get customers out by 2, which is when they close. By standard at most restaurants, they need an extra hour after closing for customers to take their time with their meals rather than rushing through it, especially if you will sit them 20 minutes before closing time. I felt rushed, and I don't like that feeling at a place I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Would I come back here? Absolutely yes because their food is really the best for brunch in the area and it's cleaner. It just shouldn't be an excuse with certain things like what I mentioned above. P.S. if chicken and waffles happens to be one of the specials, get it. It's by far the best dish I've ever tried there and also my top 3 chicken & waffles that I've tried anywhere. SO GOOD!

    Wowza! Amazing food. We finally made it around to trying this place. They are only open brunch…read morehours during weekdays which is a bummer for those of us that work all week long. The rarity time off we snuck over here and could not have been more impressed! Very much a unique place in Appleton but takes you to a big city like NYC or Portland. The vibes, decor, overall environment was welcoming. Food was delicious! We got BYO omelette and Cheese risotto cake with braised beef short ribs. Both were cooked to perfection and flavors aplenty. Not overly salted which many places can be. The perfect portion size that we didn't even need to take anything to go. Honestly impressed. Even more cool is they try to source ingredients locally when they can so it's helping our community. Very excited to have found this place and will be back for more! We did try some of their specialty drinks and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu whenever we get the chance. We came back for a second visit fairly quickly because we kept thinking about the food! We got some breakfast bowls and added protein to it. Again, this place did not disappoint in the slightest! Happy eating!

    I visited this mainly breakfast and brunch place and figured they would be open all day since…read morethey're a full bar, but it turns out they only open late on wednsdays. They're located in an old building along the main street in downtown. For lunch, they seemed to have a short list of items...and not really catering to a red meat eater like me. I picked the chicken pesto sandwich since I normally eat chicken sandwiches for lunch and opted for the house potatoes. Our waitress was very loopy and loud add seemed overly happy about her job. My colleague thinks she was yelling at us whem she spoke, but I believe that is just how some people talk. My chicken sandwich was good...but the chicken breast seemed like a machine formed patty and it was small. I was expecting something a little fresher, like a whole grilled chicken breast for the price. Instead, this seemed like a pre-made patty from a vendor they just heated up in an oven. The house potatoes were simple and pretty good though. They add cheese and herbs and spices to these to amp them up. I can't really speak for the breakfast or cocktail program, but their music was pretty good.

The food was fantastic as was our waitress and the rest of the staff. In my eyes, our visit couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend The Machine Shed to everyone. They definitely went over and above to make everything perfect for us! Thank you!

Much to his dismay, they were out of the one item he even decided to come here for. To his defense, when several dishes on the menu have that one item in it, it takes away a lot of food options. I was planning to pick the smoked wings since I was still full from lunch. He had trouble picking his alternate dish since his 2nd choice was catfish....and the way they serve it here is whole which he doesn't want to work for his food. We ended up walking out and trying another restaurant. Service was friendly and understandable about our choice.
